Next Episode: 122. Marathon Principles, 4 Eliud Kipchoge Training Reactions, and Process-Focus Science!

We listened to some very, VERY fun audio recordings before a joyous episode on growth and training theory! The main discussion is on Eliud Kipchoge's training, using a mix of sources to come up with 6 lessons for everyone. Zone 1 easy running, controlled workouts around 80% capacity, high (but not wild) volume, long runs with tempo, a growth lifestyle, and so much more! We also chatted about recent marathon breakthroughs for 40+ athletes, and the exciting implications for growth with age in the sport. Finally, we analyzed why running is a POWER SPORT, and how that incentivizes finding our own personal versions of "strong" in the journey. Plus OCR world champion training, horoscopes, the neuroscience of food, the magic of Coke, and tons of other cool topics!
